Resto Chapel

There are some signs of occupation of Le Resto in the Neolithic period. It takes its name from “rest” or “essart” (clearing), referring to the land cleared by Middle-Aged peasants who lived in temporary dwellings during the work. In the heart of the village, Saint-Yves’ chapel, also known as Notre-Dame du Resto, was built with the pink granite from the Côtes-d’Armor departments, at the start of the 1950s. It replaces a building from the 15th and 16th centuries, destroyed by allied bombardments in 1943.
